But each time I was asked for information or documents I already supplied. Rather than getting snarky about it, I just answered the question and supplied the document as if I had not already done so. I had already supplied the answers to their questions
in one big gulp, but the bureaucrat assigned the return needed to receive it in smaller bites. So, that’s what I gave them and it worked.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A deed, REETA, and REETA Gift Supplement that I prepared and recorded over 3 years ago just got an audit letter from the DOR. I would love to talk this through with somebody that
handles DOR Audits. If anybody has a few minutes and would not mind me calling them, or wants to give me a call, I would be very appreciative. Possible referral here if it ends up being more than I can handle. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
